Whats the most important thing?

You're alive just like billions of others. You may have noticed that it's been going on for a long time this way. Nothing much about humans has changed in the historical timespan. You're going to die in a little while. No ones going to pay attention to your passing for very long if at all. You're not special or different in any miraculous way. It's all a crapshoot in some ways.
So what's the most important thing to you, about living your life out?

Walking a path with heart and being here and now.

Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it." -Abraham Lincoln

Live life to its fullest, be able to celebrate the little amount of time i have here on earth and make it worthwhile for me, and for everyone else for that matter. i want my actions in my life to have positive effects in the long run. because the world is shaped by the way we act.
what about you?

Giving more then I take.
We're all one, it's time the human race wakes up and realizes this. Once this is realized then we can do what we can to provide a better future for ourselves. I see this happening through environmentalism. As well as changing the consensus of the small minority of people that control most aspects of life for others to a more loving and accepting view.
But none of this is possible without love

You should! You are! You're free!
I'M FREE- I'm free, And freedom tastes of reality, I'm free-I'm free, AN' I'm waiting for you to follow me.
If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high, You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple' But you've been told many times before Messiahs pointed to the door And no one had the guts to leave the temple!
I'm free-I'm free And freedom tastes of reality I'm free-I'm free And I'm waiting for you to follow me.
[Chorus:]
How can we follow? How can we follow?

I think happiness is a very important concept. Knowing that I've help improve the life of a fellow human being gives me more happiness and a sense of fulfillment than nearly anything I can currently think of. My worldview goes like this: Nihilism/Discordianism ---> Hedonism/Epicureanism ---> Altruism + a teaspoon of Utilitarianism

living in extremes....either a life of luxury or a bum.....oh and i enjoy being bipolar as well....i think they are important to human evolution...
by the way humans have changed a lot...maybe not physically or mentally...but our technology is a lot different...and we've evolved a bit socially i think as well.

Entertainment, of course. Everything is entertainment in such a life as our own.

The most important thing in this world is others; other people and especially my family.
After all, if I am not so special a few billion me's must have some significance.
